Having followed the XL/Producer/Platinum upgrade path, I have not paid attention to other product prices. Hopefully someone with experience in the Professional line will weight in.

Knowing the prices for Platinum would be helpful as they may use the same percentages for updates and offers.

This time last year Cakewalk was offering an upgrade to Platinum with lifetime updates for $199 or $99 for those who already renewed in 2016. Renewals in early 2016 were available for $149 (it was a little less at discounters). I only followed upgrade pricing since being on upgrade path starting with the original version of SONAR.

Easy to forget for US folks - but all europeans face added VAT cost between 19-25% on any prices - for non-business users. Businesses registered for value added taxes this is not a cost though.
 
Last year it was a lot of talk about Holidays season soon to come and why offers were extended and so forth - which we europeans(at least me) had no idea what that is. One would think christmas, but seems extended almost all fall.
 
Just a reminder - not all US folks here....

There's a bit of confusion going on in the thread. Direct stuff doesn't automatically apply to Steam purchases.
 
For example, SONAR is sold with a Season Pass model on Steam that aligns with the calendar year. We tend to aggressively discount upgrades as it gets later in the year, to make up for the time difference, and then just include the next years season pass when it gets down to the last month of the year and it's back up to a more 'normal' price.
